Circumcision

My first is 2 years about to be 3. Should I circumcise him or leave him to make his own decision when he’s older, I didn’t do it earlier due to medical reasons which have finally cleared but his brother is circumcised and worried this might lead to some form of resentment later on. Has anyone circumcised their son late and if so what age and what were the effects? Has anyone had the same or similar situation to mine and what worked for you? Or what do you wish you did?

Honestly unless medically advised leave it alone and don't mess with it for vanity reasons

@YazmynJade just realised I didn’t make it clear, it’s not for vanity reasons; it’s simply to reduce chances of infections. That’s why I did my second son, he kept having UTI’s no matter how frequent we changed his nappy or bathed him. I originally wasn’t going to do any of them until this became frequent with my second.

Unless there's a medical reason to I wouldn't

If that's the reason then it's something to consider but honestly circumcisions come with their own high risks for infections as they get older etc so personally I wouldn't do it and id just teach him clean it properly once the foreskin retracts around 5 years of age
